Good morning,
Here is the weekly newsletter. As we start the 4th quarter I want to encourage everyone what it means to be a TIGER - Teamwork, Integrity, Grit, Empathy, Reflect & Repeat. These last weeks of school will fly by which can increase stress and anxiety. Don't forget to prioritize self-care and remember to respond, not react. We can do this! #BeTigerStrong
Seniors and Senior Parents.... Monday 3/24 is the deadline to turn in senior pictures, 2 baby pictures, and a senior quote to Mrs. Toole for this year's yearbook. Guidelines on these items were sent home through email, letter, and posted on Facebook if you need to go back and find them.
Reminder: if you have volunteered to donate an item(s) for The After Prom Party, please drop them off at the school with Misty Baker or take them to Sara Crome's office at Washington Chiropractor and Wellness. The committee needs to put items together and see what all needs purchased yet. Thank you!
REMINDER: There will be a HS athlete/parent Volleyball meeting Tuesday, March 25th at 6:00pm in the HS Library for any 8th-11th grade girl interested in participating in HS Volleyball next year during the 25-26 season!

Today Representative Lisa Moser recognized the State Champions in her district including our 2 time 1A State Champion Track team. Pictured left to right: Alyssa, Jesse, Anna, McKenzie, Addyson, Representative Lisa Moser, Kiersten, and Jerry. Lillee couldn't make it because of college commitments.
Because of POP rule changes only 1 coach and 1 athlete could be on The Floor. Pictured on the House Floor with Axtell's teams are Jerry and Kiersten.
To clear up some confusion:
JH track- was told no practice during break, but was highly encouraged to workout and practice on their own.
HS track - was told there would be optional practice everyday at 3:00. The weather has changed plans for Wednesday. There will be no track practice on Wednesday.
Mrs. Carlson has noted the track practice in her weekly activities that she sends out weekly.
Due to weather, there will be no golf practice wednesday the 19th.
Because of the blizzard warning issued for tomorrow, there will be NO TRACK PRACTICE on Wednesday.
No need for a full newsletter this week. Here is the activity calendar for the week of Spring Break. We hope that all of our JHHS students have a relaxing and fun break. #BeTigerStrong
Senior trip , day 4. Post 2/2... final post. We ended our day with The Titanic Museum, shopping at The Landing, ice cream, and hanging out. We also celebrated Charlotte's birthday today! I missed the chance to post Addy's Branson Stage debut, so that's on here too! Tomorrow, we drive home.
From the seniors: We have had a great time on our senior trip. We have made memories that will truly last us a life time. Thank you to our parents for allowing us to go and preparing some breakfast food and snacks, to the school board for allowing the senior trip to happen, to our teachers for allowing us to miss a couple days of school, and to our sponsors for helping us plan the trip and then going along. Class of 2025 - Tiger Strong.
From the trip sponsors: Washington County, you should be proud of these seniors. Parents and community, you have done a fantastic job raising these kids. These kids on this trip have been absolutely great. They have all gotten along, had fun, been respectful, and made their memories. We got several compliments from other adults we have been around about "our kids". Thanks for allowing us to take the kids on their trip. - Charlotte, Misty, and Ryan

Let's hear it for these three community members who volunteered their time tonight! Another year of Ruby Reds tryouts are in the books. Mindy, Devon, and Sarah thank you for judging and sharing your expertise in cheer and dance. #rubyreds108
Senior trip, Day 3 afternoon and evening. Part of the kids walked and explored the lake and left their mark on a rock! We all went to Showboat Branson Belle. It was too windy and stormy to leave the dock, but the supper and show were amazing. Addy even got on stage. Be sure to ask her if she is from Branson! Then some settled in for movies and TVL basketball and some went to The Strip for some ice cream.
